Personal opinions on how to communicate online

[Ajay96]

Reading through a variety of threads, Ive been surprised with some posts that have been made in response to people sharing personal views or seeking advice. This was my own personal opinion, so I am very much interested in the views of other members. Initially this was out of curiosity, however hearing from others will create an opportunity for reflection, allowing me to adjust my own (members aswel) communication when using the site to ensure it's the most effective.

These threads are mainly ones seeking advice/ guidance/ personal opinions. These do usually have a short story included, focusing on the main points creating an idea of scenario, aswel as some personal opinions from the poster.

If willing to please share any thoughts/ personal experiences/ opinions when communicating in these threads.

For example if replying to a thread, how would u structure it, what would you focus on, what attitude would you use, would something In the post trigger a different emotion. The same again but as the poster of the thread, what are good/ bad comments, are these helpful, are the answers focused, relevant.

Lastly, is the post itself the problem. Common strength and developments, are they clear enough to follow, are they too factual or too personal, is there something you really like or hate.

Before I go remember there is no right or wrong answer, simply YOUR PERSONAL opinion.

Not entirely sure what you’re asking here I’m afraid. Maybe bullet point your questions?

Totally agree with that but I'm unsure how to do that on my phone so tried my best with paragraphs and commas.

The title basically is what I mean what's your personal opinions on how best to communicate online. The post gives a scenario and possible examples to help with answering.

I'm assuming from your response (correct me if I'm wrong) you like when posts are clear and straight to the point, a good layout, clear objective?

Does this help?

Honestly no one has time to pay this much attention to their/others posting style. Post what you want, ultimately it all depends on context whether the audience is receptive or not.

That's perfectly understandable, that's why I added if your willing to share, there's no expectation to do so. I

Sorry I'm unsure what your abbreviations stands for?

Is this a troll looking for us to lay a writers workshop on for them?

I don’t put that much thought into it, I just put what I think and move on.

Definitely not, i didn't want to add to much of my personal views incase they were judged incorrectly so was simply asking other views.
This was based on personal experience I had recently and tbh didn't take long to write up, especially lieing wide awake, keeps me busy

What do you hope to achieve with this thread, OP? It's very odd and your first post is rambling and hard to follow so whatever your aim I think you'll struggle to get helpful responses

Your response hits the nail on the head, people don't like rambling and that's what I always end up doing 🤦🏻‍♀️
I'm an overthinking so tried explain it, probably a bit too much.
It was supposed to be a post to share what u thought helped you that's all.

What is the point of this thread? There's no actually content to your OP, you aren't really asking anything and your writing style is hard to understand. Maybe thats what you meant though, you want feedback to reflect on your style? You have it.

Your very much correct, these points were in the post, but obviously got lost with everything else.

I over explain due to fear of not being understood but looks like leads to more confusion, thank you*

Go back to sleep OP.

Bud, you talk too much.

Zzzz

I'm typing not talking though 🤷‍♀️

This is a very bizarre thread.

Why have you posted it? Are you worried about how you come across online and want help?

Or is it a homework thread to gather advice?

You write as though you are talking. I find people get clearer answers if they keep their posts more factual although it is important to make sure all the information is there or the advice may not be relevant. There are lots of different people on mn some genuinely want to help, some get blinded by personal experience meaning they bring their stuff into their response, some like to start a row. It's important to take answers with a pinch of salt. These people don't know you and are only seeing a snippet of your life from your perspective.

Is this for your college or uni coursework? Your opening post reads like you're continuing a discussion no one was actually having with you. Why do you think people on here want your help to 'improve' their interactions online?

Anyway, my top tip for you would be to get some sleep unless you're up doing a night feed!

Read a few posts/threads and work it out?

Sounds like someone is trying to get MN to do their coursework essay on communication styles.

OP: post what you like, how you like because nobody really gives a shit how you structure your posts or comments but we do give a shit that up actually contains some content.

I’ve been reading MN and I think some posters are a bit harsh when giving their opinions.

This was my own personal opinion, so I am very much interested in the views of other members.

[waffle, cut all this. Every post on MN is a short story with a scenario including personal opinions and asking for other people’s opinions. That’s the whole site - it’s a talk board to gather opinions or have a discussion.]

For example if replying to a thread, how would u structure it, what would you focus on, what attitude would you use, would something In the post trigger a different emotion.

When you reply to a thread, do certain phrases or subjects make you more emotional or likely to reply in a particular way? Do you think about how you structure your reply?

When you write a post do you think about how to structure it and how the replies you get reflect your OP? Are there things in a post that make it good or bad in terms of replies being helpful?

Before I go remember there is no right or wrong answer, simply YOUR PERSONAL opinion.
Curious to hear what people think because I’ve been wondering if there’s a ‘perfect’ way to get the best advice.

Last minute essay?
